I think that the people he owed debts to weren’t good people - they traded in drugs, or were unscrupulous, wealthy, drunken lordlings who gambled etc. If he owed money to honest tailors or servants, I think he would have paid them

Later on he mentioned something like that - how he was amazed people like that actually acted like they'd earned the money fair and square. Not everyone he hung out with had to be unscrupulous.

Fool wasn’t himself at that point. He truly believed he was going to die and was acting crazy. I always put it down to him being scared and taking it out on everyone else. Fool is a great character, but not a perfect person. That’s why he’s so great.

The Fool at this point truly believing he was going to die, so I think he was scared and unsure of how to act. This resulted in him doing something he wouldn’t normally do.

The Fool's not perfect, indeed. (He likes brandy, for example.) But being a dick like that is disappointing. I still think he could've just made sure to gamble away just enough instead of creating debts. Wouldn't he feel better going towards his death like that, sure that everything is settled and no problems anywhere?

I always explained it to myself that the Fool wanted to destroy the charm of Lord Golden. Many people were infatuated with Lord Golden and the Fool wanted to show that he was just an asshole in spite of his looks, wit and wealth.
